Why this guide
Most people judge sleep by the hours. Dr. Hoffman judges it by what the night does: repair, protection, memory and the brain's overnight clean-up. Many people with chronic illness sleep seven or eight hours and still wake exhausted. This protocol works through the causes in the order that matters, starting with the one that costs nothing: light.
